[Salon] Ukrainian Front Continues to Implode




Ukrainian Front Continues to Implode

Larry C Johnson  10/28/24

Grim news for Ukrainian commanders, who are trying to plug a leaking dam that is being overwhelmed by a Russian tsunami of military force. Ukrainian dead are piling up and Kiev is running out of body bags.

36th separate marine brigade bled dry. Militants ran out of body bags. . . .

Due to the huge losses in the 36th separate marine brigade, it was necessary to announce a collection of body bags . It is funny that the Kiev regime is no longer able to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with even body bags, which cost pennies. Their cost is also noted in the post, emphasizing that even such a tiny amount cannot be collected.

German reporter, Julian Röpke, normally one of the more sanguine scribes touting Ukrainian victories, reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ front in the South Donetsk direction is falling apart.

“The front is falling apart in the south of Donetsk Oblast. On a regional scale, we are talking about a loss of 2 to 5 kilometers per day. At this rate, Russia will need another six months to reach Dnipro Oblast,” he wrote in H.

Röpke reports that over the past three days, the Russian army has captured eight settlements: Bogoyavlenka, Katerinovka, Izmailovka, Aleksandropol, Gornik, Selidovo, Shakhtyorskoye, and Vishnevoye.

He blames the situation on Western allies, who are sending few weapons.

“We can admit that our current ‘support’ is leading to Ukraine losing this war before our eyes and that the Ukrainian leadership cannot find any means or ways to stop Russia’s advance,” Röpke writes.

The following video shows Russian troops taking control of a fully intact Abrams Tank:

Desperation on the battle front is accompanied by panic and criminal brutality. Here is video evidence of Ukrainian forces unleashing a barrage of kamikaze drones on Ukrainian civilians trying to surrender to Russian troops.

KIEV KILLS FLEEING CIVILIANS IN WAR CRIME CAUGHT ON CAMERA by Russian drone that spots group of innocent people waving white flag and rushing across road (00:08 in vid above), desperate to get out of Chasov Yar (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/36026) and finding safety with Russian forces.

But #Kiev criminals can’t stand people wanting to reach Russian lines so begin BOMBING civilians with artillery and mortar fire, forcing them into nearby pillbox for cover (00:22).

Russian drone rushes to drop bag full of essential supplies and radio (01:08), trying to keep in contact with terrified group while Ukrainian kamikaze drones soar into building with no remorse (01:37), murdering at least 5 before Russian forces lose contact with survivors.

US policymakers should consider their own culpability in facilitating war crimes like this. No civilized army does this to unarmed civilians, especially those carrying a white flag. Continued funding of Ukraine’s hopeless military campaign means that US taxpayers are enabling this kind of barbarism.

The incompetence of Ukraine is demonstrated in the following video. A scrawny Ukrainian recruiter tries to snatch the wrong guy and pays a price.

But the situation for the people of Ukraine is not humorous. It is a tragedy of unrelenting horror. A count of obituaries published in Ukraine since February 2022 shows that more than 522,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed. In truth, the number is much higher, probably closer to a million.

If current trends continue and Donald Trump is reelected in two weeks, the fate of Ukraine will be sealed and I expect a move will be made by forces inside Ukraine to remove Zelensky from office. His days as a useful idiot are coming to an end.
